audio Lower Ninth Ward Recovery Operations Brian Denzer 2005-12-07 12:32 PM
Three months have now passed since Hurricanes Katrina and Rita struck the Gulf Coast. Meanwhile, the national press has shifted its attention to other affairs, and the public may have grown weary of tragic news from the Gulf Coast. Nevertheless, the tragedy continues to unfold in the most devastated areas, where emergency workers remain activated, and victims are still being found. Part one of a two-part report examines the role of emergency workers at the Lower Ninth Ward operations center. File size: 5.1 MB; Duration: 12 minutes.

text Quỹ Cứu Trợ Cho Dân Vùng Bão Lụt Peoples Hurricane Relief Fund 2005-12-05 3:26 PM
Quỹ Cứu Trợ Cho Dân Vùng Bão Lụt yêu cầu Dự án Tái thiết và Cứu trợ Dân Vùng Bão lụt Mới đây chính phủ Mỹ ra thông báo sẽ chi hơn 50 tỷ đô la cho việc tái thiết New Orleans và vùng vịnh do có thiếu sót trong việc cứu nạn nhân bão Katrina và chu cấp không thỏa đáng cho những người sống sót. Thứ 7, ngày 8 tháng 9, một nhóm các nhà hoạt động của New Orleans và nhóm ủng hộ trên toàn nước Mỹ đã họp mặt tại Baton Rouge, Louisiana để đưa ra những kiến nghị về thảm họa do bão Katrina gây ra. Muc đích nhằm đảm bảo cho người đang phải tản cư đi nơi khác được trở về nhà mình, được tham dự vào quá trình tái thiết và yêu cầu được công khai về hàng tỷ đô la mà quốc hội Mỹ đã thông qua cho việc tái thiết và cứu trợ. Các nhân viên chính phủ đã phân tán có cân nhắc và hiệu quả người bị nạn đến mọi miền đất nước. Hàng ngàn gia đình đã bị chia ly, con xa mẹ, chồng xa vợ, anh chị em xa nhau. Những người tham dự kết luận rằng, yêu cầu cơ bản nhất là người dân New Orleans và vùng vịnh phải được trở về nhà, trở về với cộng đồng và được tham gia vào công cuộc tái thiết. Yêu cầu bao gồm: - Thứ nhất, Chính phủ phải tài trợ cho việc đoàn tụ của tất cả các gia đình. Các số liệu của FEMA và Hội Chữ Thập Đỏ phải được công khai. - Thứ hai, hơn 50 tỷ phải thuộc về những nạn nhân bão Katrina. Chúng tôi yêu cầu có một Quỹ Bồi Thường Nạn Nhân như như đã lập cho nạn nhân vụ Trung tâm Thương maị Thế giới ở NY. - Thứ ba, Hội đồng Nhân dân yêu cầu có đại diện ở tất cả các tổ chức liên quan đến việc chi dùng số tiền dành cho cứu trợ và tái thiết cộng đồng. Chúng tôi cũng yêu cầu cho những người chịu ảnh hưởng bão nặng nề nhất được tham gia vào quá trình hoạch định. - Thứ tư, chúng tôi yêu cầu dành việc làm cho người lao động đang phải tản cư, cho người dân của New Orleans và vùng vịnh. Chúng tôi phải là người đi đầu trong việc tái thiết lại cộng đồng của chúng tôi. Việc làm phải được trả theo lương của công đoàn để chúng tôi không còn bị đặc thù với sự nghèo khổ cùng cực. - Cuối cùng, chúng tôi yêu cầu có sự công khai rõ ràng về quá trình tái thiết. Người dân phải được biết số tiền được chi vào việc gì và với ai. Chúng tôi phải được đảm bảo quyền hoạch định tương lai, không bị áp đặt bởi các nhà chính trị ở Washington DC, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, và các nhà chức trách địa phương. Chúng tôi cần hành động để đảm bảo những người bị thiệt hại nặng nề nhất trong bão Katrina và phải tản cư sẽ được đóng vai trò quan trọng trong việc tái thiết cộng đồng của mình. (text/plain)

Help For Families Who Are Looking For Katrina Pets
Most animals in New Orleans died because Governor of LA Kathleen Blanco, FEMA and Mayor of New Orleans Nagin refused to let people affected by hurricane katrina to stay with their pets or to return to New Orleans to rescue their loved family pet members. At least 40,000 companion animals were murdered because of the government left them to starve to death or suffer injuries. Some pets who survived have been lost in the system because the HSUS have been so incompetent. You can email lostinsystempets@yahoo.com or nance898@aol.com if you are sick of your recorded message on 1-800-humane-1 and even sicker of your "canned" statement letter. Read this on Craigslist about the HSUS, if you have problems with HSUS or finding a pet you think has been rescued email http://neworleans.craigslist.org/pet/114105353.html Around 10,000 companion animals survived despite the cruelty that the state of Louisiana and Kathleen Blanco inflicted upon them. Please let katrina survivors with missing pets know that they can look for them on Petfinder and Petharbor. (image/jpeg)
